The chronometer is in very good working condition; the movement appears to have been cleaned in recent years; the high-quality case, circa 1900, was made for the movement. The clock is wound from the back and comes with a winding key. The brass case is fixed in the mahogany case, and the movement is accessed by unscrewing the front bezel.
